Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how motherhood has changed me, and the one thing that stands out is my increased empathy for other mothers. Before I had children, I thought I had a clue about parenting. HA. HA. HA. Isn’t it funny how humbling motherhood is? With that, I wanted to share a […]
The photo above is Harper “helping” me with one of my many sewing projects. I have learned to not fight this and to just let her hand me the damn pins. Today, she told me to “be careful with the spiky part.” Stay-at-home moms have it really hard. They wake up day in and day […]
Busy moms. Ha! Is that kind of redundant? If you’re a mom with kids still at home, I’d say you’re probably pretty busy. With two under three, I don’t necessarily feel “busy,” but I certainly feel strapped for crafting time. There are clothes to be washed, butts to be wiped, beds to be made, floors […]
It is 8:53pm. The kids are both asleep in their respective beds, and the husband is (somewhat reluctantly) in the garage “playing” (he could tell I was “grumpy” – AKA needing alone time). I have the flu, so I’m feeling pretty BLAH anyway, but at least I’m able to convince myself to sit down for […]
Okay, so, first things first. I didn’t have time to post my Instagram photos last week for my Thursday Throwback. Perhaps I’m not cut out for planned, weekly features. Time will tell, I guess. But here they are. You might sense a somber tone in my writing today…and that’s because last week was a bit […]
It’s easy to make myself look amazingly on-top-of-things and beautiful on the web. I can pick and choose the photos I use, and then I can edit them and write a nice little summary of all the fun things I did with my little bundle of joy this week. Ahhhh, the joys of Photoshop and […]
People love to hate mommy bloggers. Heck, I used to hate mommy bloggers. You know, I hated them…and I loved them, too. I made fun of them but secretly lurked behind the mask of a random IP address to see what their kids wore on the first day of school…their latest craft projects…and what bands […]
I’ve been pondering how I would write this post for some time now…and I must admit, I’m still not completely clear how to communicate exactly what’s going through my noggin. It has a little to do with my current station in life (mommy, homemaker, doer-of-all-things-laundry-dishes-and-other-scrubbing), and a little to do with this feeling I can’t […]
